Should you get specific certifications that are required for jobs before applying in the first place?

So throughout the whole phase of job hunting straight out of college, I’ve been having a hell of a time with getting an interview in the first place with the fringe 1 or 2 interviews I got since December. Some of these jobs require specific certifications. Most of these are BLS, CPR, Pharmacy Trainee certification, etc. I wanted to ask if it’s commons to wait till after you are guaranteed the job before trying to get the certification in the first place. Only asking this since I was told to get a pharmacy trainee certification only for the employer to ghost me. Any help is appreciated on this topic.
